LIVE: Psychotic Disorders in Children and Adolescents
A public online discussion addressing psychotic disorders in children and adolescents is scheduled during Latvia's Mental Health Week.
A live discussion led by moderator Laura Londe aims to delve into various aspects of psychotic disorders in children and teenagers, addressing critical questions such as the nature and manifestations of these disorders at a young age, their prevalence, and risk factors. The event is part of the sixth Children's Mental Health Week, themed "Talk to Me," which runs from March 2 to 8 and seeks to raise awareness among parents and caregivers about mental health challenges facing children.
The initiative, organized by the Debesmanna Association, focuses on educating families about identifying and addressing mental health issues before they reach acute stages. It also provides essential information on treatment methods and rehabilitation processes for children suffering from psychotic conditions. Participants will learn how to recognize signs of psychosis and where to find help in Latvia should concerns about a child's mental state arise.
The event underscores the importance of mental health awareness in the context of children's development and well-being, offering free online resources and discussions on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. The goal is to empower parents and guardians with knowledge and tools to support their children's mental health effectively.
